How many positive terms are in an arithmetic progression: 17.2; 17; 16.8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

a = first term = 17.2

tn = last term = 16.8

d= common difference = -0.2

n = number of terms = ?

To find the number of positive terms, we'll use the formula;

tn = a + (n - 1) d

Substituting the figures,

=> 16.8 = 17.2 + (n -1) -0.2

=> 16.8 - 17.2 = (n - 1) - 0.2

=> -0.4 = (n - 1) - 0.2

=> -0.4/-0.2 = n - 1

=> n - 1 = 2

=> n = 3

Therefore, the number of positive terms in the sequence is 3

What is the equation of the line that passes through point (4. 12) and has a y-intercept
of - 2?

Answers

Answer:

7x - 2y - 4 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

from the perpendicular equation formula,

y/a + x/b = 1

x1 = 4

y1 = 12

a = -2

b= ?

Inserting the values into the above formula,

12/-2 + 4/b = 1

-6 + 4/b = 1

4/b = 7

b = 4/7

putting a and b into the original formula,

y/-2 + x/(4/7) = 1

-y/2 + 7x/4 = 1 (×4)

-2y + 7x = 4

7x - 2y - 4 = 0

Therefore, the equation of the line is;

7x - 2y - 4 = 0

An exponential relationship is modeled by y = 31(0.81)x , what is the percent rate of change for this function?

Answers

Answer:

19%

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential relationship is modeled by y = 31(0.81)^x , what is the percent rate of change for this function?

From the above exponential relationship given, we can see that this exponential relationship is an exponential decrease.

Where the formula:

y = a(1 - r)^t

Where a = Initial amount

r = rate of change in percent

t = time in years

y = a(1 - r)^x = y = 31(0.81)^x

1 - r = 0.81

r = 1 - 0.81

r = 0.19

Converting 0.19 × 100

= 19%

Find the length of each side of the triangle determined by the three points P1,P2,P 1,P 2, and P3. P3 State whether the triangle is an isosceles triangle, a right triangle, neither of these, or both. (An isosceles triangle is one in which at least two of the sides are of equal length.) P1=(−1,4);P2=(6,2);P3=(4,−5)P 1=(−1,4);P 2=(6,2);P 3 =(4,−5).

Answers

Answer:

IT IS BOTH

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate of the triangle, P1P2P3, we are to classify the triangle. To do that we need to know the length of each side of the triangle

P1P2, P2P3 and P1P2 using the formula for calculating distance between two coordinates

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

For P1P2;

P1=(−1,4) P2=(6,2)

P1P2 = √(6-(-1))²+(2-4)²

P1P2 = √7²+2²

P1P2 = √53

For P1P3;

P1=(−1,4) P3=(4,-5)

P1P3 = √(4-(-1))²+(-5-4)²

P1P3 = √5²+9²

P1P3 = √25+81

P1P3 = √106

For P2P3;

P2=(6,2) P3 = (4,-5)

P2P3= √(4-6)²+(-5-2)²

P2P3 = √2²+7²

P2P3 = √53

Since two sides of the triangles are the same, this means that it is an isosceles triangle.

Let's check whether it is right angled by applying Pythagoras theorem

(√53)²+(√53)² = x²

x is the longest side (hypotenuse)

53+53 = x²

106 = x²

x = √106

Since the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the sum of the square of other two sides, then it is also a RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE

A small pool is being drained. There are 1,320 gallons of water remaining in the pool after 2 minutes and 1,040 gallons after 9 minutes.

Answers

Answer:

Answer: 35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

For us to solve the question, we have to calculate the amount of gallons of water that is drained every minute. This will be:

= (1320 - 1040) / (9 - 2)

= 280/7

= 40 gallons per minute

Since we are told that 1,320 gallons of water remain in the pool after 2 minutes. This means that the total water in the pool at the beginning was:

= 1320 gallons + (40 × 2)

= 1320 gallons + 80 gallons

= 1400 gallons

The time taken for the pool to be completely drained will be:

= Total water in pool / Gallons drained per minute

= 1400 / 40

= 35 minutes

Answer:

35 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 40 gallons drained per minute.

The value of a boat if depreciating at at a rate of 9% per year. In 2006 the boat was worth $17,800. Find the worth of the boat in 2013.

Answers

Answer:

The worth of boat in 2013 will be $9202.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of depreciation = 9% = 0.09

Cost of Boat in 2006 =$ 17,800

Cost of Boat in 2013 = ?

Years = 2013-2006= 7 years

The formula used is: [tex]\mathbf{A=P(1+r)^{t}}[/tex]

Since the value of boat is depreciating the value of r will be r=-0.09

Here P = 17,800 , r=-0.09 and t = 7 years Finding A

[tex]A=P(1+r)^{t}\\A=17,800(1+(-0.09))^7\\A=17,800(0.91)^7\\A=17,800(0.517)\\A=9202.6[/tex]

So, the worth of boat in 2013 will be $9202.6

Hello :) um Im just trying to learn this question- "Select the division equation that can be used to find the solution to the problem. 4/9 kilogram of baking soda costs $2. How much does 1 kilogram of baking soda cost?"

2 ÷ 4/9= ?
4/9 ÷ 2= ?
2 ÷ 1/9= ?
2 ÷ 2/9= ?

Answers

Answer: Choice A)    2 ÷ 4/9

=========================================================

Explanation:

We're told that 4/9 kg of baking soda costs $2

We can form the equation

4/9 kg = 2 dollars

We want to know the cost of 1 kg of baking soda, so we'll need to divide both sides by 4/9 to turn the "4/9 kg" into "1 kg"

Therefore,

4/9 kg = 2 dollars

turns into

1 kg = (2 ÷ 4/9) dollars

To celebrate the first day of spring, Lin is putting stickers on some of the 100 lockers along one side of her middle school's hallway.

After Lin makes her way down the hall, will the 30th locker have no stickers, 1 sticker, or 2 stickers? Explain how you know.

Answers

Answer:

The 30th sticker will have a sticker. The sticker will be 1 sticker (Kite Sticker) which will be put on the locker by Lin. This is because, following the arithematic progression of the sticker placement:

Locker 5 = Kite sticker

locker 10 = Kite sticker

Locker 15 = Kite sticker

.

.

Locker 30 = Kite sticker

It could be seen that at locker 30, the sticker to be placed by Lin will be Kite sticker
